An eastern Missouri woman is sentenced to 12 year in prison for neglecting her dogs. Authorities said the animals were infested with fleas and lacked adequate food and water. Authorities said the animals were infested with fleas and lacked adequate food and water. Tags: animalabuse. That's a pretty stiff sentence.
Because the stereotype of a little old lady walking into a court room to face several counts of animalabuse tends to make judges and juries feel sympathetic for the “criminal,” the legal system rarely prosecutes these people.

We have so much love and respect for the ASPCA agents who answer these calls and help animals every day. 26 Dogs saved by the ASPCA originally appeared on 4 The Love of Animals on February 23, 2010.
